The Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association (AOPA) is hosting aviation fly-ins around the country to meet its members and to join pilots and aviation enthusiasts together. All the fun kicked off on May 16th at Salinas Municipal Airport. The second event of the year will be this Saturday, June 6th at Frederick Municipal Airport in Frederick, MD.

The event takes off at 6:30pm on Friday with a barnstormers party featuring a screening of the documentary “Living in the Age of Airplanes”. A pancake breakfast and a Rusty Pilots Seminar are set for Saturday morning. The event continues with a day of aircraft exhibits and free seminars. At 2:45pm AOPA president, Mark Baker, will conduct a Pilot Town Hall meeting followed by an ice cream social. The event closes at 4pm.

The aircraft insurance specialists at Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) will have AIR President Jon Harden’s yellow and black Pitts S1S Biplane on display. Aviation plays an important role in the lives of the agents and pilots at AIR and those in the Frederick Home Office spend many a day flying (and hangar flying) out at KFDK.

Last week, Aviation Insurance Resources president Jon Harden and agent Joe Cacho attended the 39th Annual SUN ‘n FUN International Fly-In & Expo at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Lakeland, Florida from April 9-14. Sun ‘n Fun was founded in 1974 and attracts plane owner-pilots from across the United States and Canada. The Fly-In, & Expo presented by the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, is the 2nd largest airshow in the world, with more than 200,000 attendees, 500 exhibitors, workshops and forums, and, of course, more than 4,500 aircraft, ranging from homebuilt aircraft to ex-military aircraft.

“We had good weather but light attendance in the early part of the week,” said Harden. “We saw some new aircraft entering the LSA market. We talked with manufactures, importers and dealers about helping them insure their new LSA aircraft. We are very excited about being able to help them to get approval from insurance markets in the US.”
